We are getting some lovely messages in response to our decision to slash the prices of our online resources. I have permission to share this message below - and really it is a 'celebration' because Sibel is someone who has been pioneering to introduce systematic synthetic phonics to her colleagues for many years, and she has personally been using/trialling this approach for those years to wonderful effect in Turkey.

Sibel (and her sister) have visited me to see SSP in action when I worked in infant teaching years ago, she has attended more than one of my two-day face-to-face training events for 'all comers' - on one occasion bringing a colleague, and she arranged for me to visit her Gelisim college and train her colleagues ten years ago.

You can see what a dedicated teacher Sibel is, and what an extraordinary pioneer:

My dear Debbie,

Thank you so much for reducing the prices for most of your online resources. We are thankful.

My daughter and her friend will be doing the online synthetic phonics training. They are so keen to learn more and more about the programme.

My daughter Melis and myself have been working together at GeliÅŸim college for nearly a year now. I am so proud of her as she loves teaching phonics to our students as well.

I thought you might like to know that another dedicated teacher is arising to follow mum's footsteps. Just like you and Abi!

I also have another wonderful news for you.

Rachel and I will be running our own Phonics in Turkey here at GeliÅŸim college. We have managed to convince our school's head to say yes. The centre will be in GeliÅŸim college.

We have been working very hard with Rachel to make it happen very soon.

Thank you for always helping and supporting me Debbie.

I will keep you updated with the latest news.

I have invited Rachel and Sibel to add their information via our international 'Tutors' page here:

It is very heartening to hear from people overseas for whom we have made our online resources more affordable. Thank you to everyone letting us know this step has made a difference. Don't forget I'm always available to answer any questions at debbie@phonicsinternational.com .

Hi and Happy New Year,

Greetings from Uganda. You can't imagine how we are committed to bringing Phonics International's influence here.

We are doing all we can to learn and put into practice whatever we learn.

And with your reduction in price initiative, I anticipate things will be better.

I am excited that I am soon paying for the online course and the 8 unit package.

Looking forward to more support and information,

Sincerely, Lawrence

Comments like this (below) make all our thousands of hours of work worthwhile.

Teachers cannot, and should not, be expected to create 'bodies of work' to support teaching and learning for reading and spelling instruction to the same level of content and guidance as people who dedicate their lives and considerable time and effort as specialists to provide the material:

Hello Teacher.. Debbie.. I live in Liechtenstein and teach English in the schools here. Thank you for this opportunity to learn more about phonics training. I have just paid the (great price) of twenty pounds and am "raring to go" thank you and regards, Mabel

I am cross-referencing this thread with the feedback from people who have already completed our Phonics Training Online course at the higher price:

Here is our March 2019 flyer showing our resource prices, some early results from the No Nonsense Phonics Skills resources and our training options:

Update: The Phonics International programme provided via mainly pdfs (printable and projectable) is now completely free.

Here is our 'shop' where ready-made resources can be purchased if preferred and where the 'No Nonsense Phonics' resources and 'Phonics Reading Books' can be purchased:

https://phonicsintervention.org

And for a quick look at the ready-made resources, go to:

https://nononsensephonics.com

Wand Education who published the Wand Phonics digital body of work let us down so Wand Phonics, very sadly, is no longer available.

We now have a fab range of decodable reading books entitled 'Phonics and vocabulary books' which are being well-received. The main series of 44 books are available both as 'hard copies' and via an eBookshelf (the latter is an annual licence). Go to https://nononsensephonics.com which is our one-page online catalogue to learn more about our extended range of resources (not pink and fluffy - genuinely worthwhile teaching and learning resources).

The reading books are great with both the No Nonsense Phonics programme and the Phonics International programme - but actually they can supplement any school's stock of literature - just use sensibly as required.
